Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Marantz Professional PMD570 Solid State Recorder. The PMD570 is an audio recorder that records in digital audio formats onto a Compact Flash™ memory card (CF card) or Microdrive™.

Compact flash memory cards, also used in digital cameras, are widely available at consumer electronics retailers and computer resellers.

Computer compatible

The PMD570 records directly onto CF cards. Recordings can be transferred to your desktop or laptop computer by removing the CF card from the PMD570 or by connecting the PMD570 to your computer via the I/O port. Audio recorded in the popular MP3 compression format is directly available for intranet or internet file sharing.

On your computer you can then:

• log and archive audio files
• play audio files

• save audio files to:

• your hard drive

• a floppy

• a CD-R disc

• post streaming audio files on your web site

• use software and your computer to transcribe digital recordings
• An editing program (Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software, available from Marantz Professional for PC users) lets you convert and edit audio files that were recorded on the PMD570.

Setup

• Three menu selectable Presets make it easy to switch between your commonly used input, recording format, playback parameters and other menu selections.

Audio inputs may be from:

• line level sources connected to the BALANCED IN XLR jacks,
• line level audio sources connected to the ANALOG IN RCA jacks, or
• digital audio sources in SPDIF format connected to the DIGITAL IN jack.

Audio outputs may be from:

• headphones connected to the HEADPHONE jack,
• analog audio devices such as an amplifier or other device connected to the ANALOG OUT jacks, and/or
• digital audio devices using SPDIF format connected to the DIGITAL OUT jack.

External control

• RS-232C control codes enable full external control of the PMD570.
• Suggested Presets that are downloadable to the PMD570 via the RS-232C control port are available at d-mpro.com.

• An optional wired Remote Marantz Model RC600 connects via a TRRS connector and permits:

• starting, stopping, or pausing recording

• adding EDL marks (see next page) to a track

• A second wired remote connection accepts a mono Phone jack (remote control not supplied). Depending on the menu selection a simple contact closure connected here permits:

• Start Pause: pause and resume

• StrtPausTR: restart after pause while recording initiates a new track
• EDL Mark: add a silent EDL mark
• Manual TRK: initiate a new track while recording (if Seamless Play is off during playback adds a small audio gap)

Security - CF cards

For security the CF card compartment door can be secured with a screw. Requiring a tool to open the CF card compartment reduces casual removal of the CF card.

Automatic recording

The PMD570 can be set to stop recording when there is silence (Silent Skip) and automatically start when sound resumes. The PMD570 can be set to automatically add an EDL mark to the track at each such starting point.

Playback aids

A common problem with lengthy recordings is difficulty in locating one or more specific passages for playback. The PMD570 has several ways to mark or tag specific record starting and/or ending points.

- Date and time

A built-in date and time generator marks the beginning of each track.

Tracks

• A new track (file) is automatically started each time you begin a recording.
• It is not possible to record over a previously recorded track unless it is first erased.
• An Auto Track feature can add tracks every minute or other selectable recording interval. (Minute track: Setting the interval to one minute provides a new track every minute of a recording, permitting navigating a large audio recording by time.)
• A new track can be started during recording by pressing the Record button. (Manual TR, Manual Track incrementing, On.)

EDL marks

EDL marks are silent during playback but locatable.

EDL (Edit Decision List) marks can be created during recording manually or automatically. EDL marks help you find those specific points in the recording.

*The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional solid state recorders.

• During playback you can instantly locate EDL marks.
• You can change an EDL mark into a skip mark or an A-B repeating point. That lets you create custom playback sequences which include skipping audio between EDL marks or repeating audio between EDL marks.
• EDL marks are specific to the CF card, not to Tracks. That lets you create custom playback sequences across Tracks.

• Up to 255 EDL marks can be added to a CF card. EDL marks are numbered consecutively starting at one.

• During recording you can manually add an EDL mark by pushing and holding SHIFT while you push the MARK button.

• EDL marks can also be added automatically.

• Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software, is specifically designed by Marantz. Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software recognizes EDL marks generated by the PMD570. This is especially useful for editing audio files on your PC. For more information visit www.d-mpro.com.

Features

• Stereo (2 channels) and mono (1 channel) audio recording and playback.
• Records onto various types of CF cards. (Please refer to the Marantz Professional web site at www.d-mpro.com for what kind of media are recommended.)

128, or 192 kbps (recommended for recording music)

• PCM uncompressed at 768kbps (mono) (very high quality mono audio recording)
  PCM uncompressed at 1536kbps (stereo) recommended for very high quality audio recording

• Pre-Recording memory buffer that records 2 seconds of audio before recording is started.

• Portions of multiple recordings can be played back in sequence using EDL marks.
• Built-in Time and Date generator marks the beginning of each track.
• Three remote options, including RS-232C, permit wired remote control.

RecFormat

The PMD570 can record in a variety of compression algorithm, associated bit rate, file format, and recording type (channels recorded) parameters. See explanations and chart below.

First determine the input connection you want to record from; BALANCED IN, ANALOG, or DIGITAL IN. Second set the Preset Menu Input choice to correspond with the connection: Bal.In, Unbal., or Dig-IN.

RecFormat parameters:

Channels

The recording channel can be stereo (two discrete channels of recording) or mono (one channel of recording). Set to match your inputs.

Algorithm

The PMD570 can record using three methods, PCM and two compression algorithms: MP2, and MP3.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is uncompressed. These are high quality audio files used in the recording industry. For example, for recording CD quality music.

MP3 is highly compressed, and creates relatively small files that are commonly used to share files on the internet.

MP2 is a compressed file format that is commonly used in broadcasting. MP2 audio is a higher quality than MP3. This is especially useful when lower bitrates are used. If you are a news reporter you will probably want to record in Broadcast Wave format (BWF) using MP2 compression.

Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software and other professional level computer applications are available for computer processing of PCM, MP2 and MP3 files.

Sampling Frequency

Sampling frequency is measured in kHz (kilohertz). The sampling frequency is the number of samples of the audio wave(s) per second. For example, the PMD570 can record PCM at 48 kHz that is 48,000 samples per second.

Bit Rate

The bit rate for PCM is constant for each sampling frequency. MP2 and MP3 can be recorded at a number of different bit rates.

File Format

The file format (3 character computer file extension) can be .wav, .bwf, .mpg or .mp3. Broadcast Wave format, used primarily in the broadcast industry, includes identification codes in the file header.

Chart of RecFormat Parameters

The PMD570 parameter menu settings are extensive but limited to plausible combinations.

This table of parameters reflects the menu setting sequence.

The CF card in the PMD570 is a Windows formatted PC compatible CF card. The CF card can be removed from the PMD570 and read by a computer with a compatible CF card slot, or, using an I/O cable connection between the PMD570 I/O jack and your computer's I/O port the CF card can remain in the PMD570 and appear as a drive on your computer.

How to connect via the I/O port

1. Connect a cable to the PMD570 I/O jack and your computer's I/O port.

1. Select I/O Online:

From power off, push and hold the MENU/STORE button while you power on by pushing and releasing the POWER ON/OFF button.

I/O Online is displayed

I/O Online

The PMD570 cannot be used while Online.

Power off and back on to resume recording or playback on the PMD570.

While Online the CF card in the PMD570 appears as a removable device on your computer. The audio files are in a folder that is named MPGLANG1.

CAUTION: Only copy audio files (tracks) to other volumes. Do not modify or delete the EDL file. If the EDL file is missing or damaged PMD570 will not be able to recognize EDL marks.

Do not remove a CF card during "I/O Online" mode. Data and the CF card can be damaged.

See the enclosed CD-ROM for demo PMDEdit software for computer audio file manipulation.

PMDEdit is a full featured software suite designed for Marantz Professional digital recorders available for purchase at www.d-mpro.com.

What will appear on your computer is a file titled PMD670.EDL* and a folder (directory) titled MPGLANG1. Files within the MPGLANG1 folder are numbered from 1001 through the number of tracks recorded to a maximum of 1999. The file extension will be .mp3, .wav, .bwf or .mpg depending on the RecFormat parameters that were set for the recording.

*PMD670 is used to insure compatibility between PMD670 and PMD570 PMEdit operations.

Diagram of file structure (assuming .mp3 files).

Changes made to file names or file structure made on your computer will prevent file recognition and therefore playback in the PMD570.

EDL marks

EDL* (Edit Decision List) marks help you locate specific points in the recording.

During regular playback EDL marks are silent.

*The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional solid state recorders.

EDL marks can be created during recording manually or automatically. EDL marks can also be added during playback or play pause at any time.

• During stop or play pause you can search for EDL marks by pushing and holding SHIFT and turning the Jog Wheel.
• You can change an EDL mark into a skip mark or an A-B repeating point. That lets you create custom playback sequences which include skipping audio between EDL marks or repeating audio between EDL marks. See How to Edit EDL marks on page 45.
• Up to 255 EDL marks can be added to a CF card. EDL marks are numbered consecutively starting at one.
• During recording you can manually add an EDL mark by pressing and holding the SHIFT button while pressing and releasing the MARK button.
• PMDEdit computer software, is specifically designed for the PMD570 and PMD670. Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software recognizes EDL marks generated by the PMD570. This is especially useful for editing audio files on your PC. For more information visit www.d-mpro.com.

EDL marks are initially entered as 'Point' marks. An EDL mark can also be a Skip mark, Loop_A mark, or Loop_B mark.

Skip marks

When EDL Play is at On, playback segments that begin with a Skip mark are skipped. Although the skipped segment remains on the CF card it plays back as if it has been erased.

Loop marks

When EDL Play is at On, when there is a Loop_A and a Loop_B mark on the CF card, playback repeats between the A and B marks.

Locating EDL Marks

From stop or play pause push and hold the SHIFT button while you turn the Jog Wheel to scroll through the EDL marks on the CF card.

Note:

If you push and hold the SHIFT button and turn the Jog Wheel during playback, the PMD570 automatically switches to play pause to scroll through the EDL marks.

EDL marks and the beginning of a Track

EDL marks are not automatically placed at the beginning of tracks. If you want your custom playback sequence to include track beginning points add EDL Marks to coincide with track beginning points by:

a. Start playback by pressing and releasing the Play/ Pause button /II and then pause playback by pressing and releasing the Play/Pause button /II again.
b. Push and release Track jump forward or Track jump reverse until the desired track number is displayed and TRACK TIME is 000:00:00.
c. Push and hold SHIFT while you push and release the MARK button.

Custom playback sequences

EDL Marks are numbered consecutively from 001 and automatically renumbered when an EDL Mark is added or erased. Playback is also consecutive from the point that playback begins.

EDL Mark custom playback can:

Skip playback from the beginning of a 'Skip' EDL Mark to the beginning of the next EDL Mark.

A-B loop from a 'Loop_A' EDL Mark to a 'Loop_B' EDL Mark.

How to Edit EDL marks:

All EDL marks are initially entered as 'Point' marks.

From stop or play pause, push and hold the SHIFT button while you turn the Jog Wheel to tab through the EDL marks.

Example display

When the EDL mark to be edited is displayed release the SHIFT button and immediately push and release the Jog Wheel. The current EDL Mark type will be flashing.

Example display

Turn the Jog Wheel to tab through the EDL Mark types: Point, Skip, Loop_A, Loop_B, and Erase.

Example display

When the type you want to change the EDL mark to is flashing press and release the Jog Wheel. TOC Write will be displayed briefly

Example display

and the PMD670 will return to the EDL selection for 4 seconds,

Example display

then return to stop or play pause.

Example display

EDL mark types

Point

Nothing happens during EDL playback.

Skip

Audio following a Skip EDL mark will be skipped during EDL playback. Playback will skip to the beginning of the next EDL mark.

The skipped EDL audio is not erased. The recording is still on the CF card. The skipped EDL recording will play if EDL Play is at Off. You can change the EDL mark type later.

Loop_A and Loop_B

During EDL playback audio following an EDL Point mark is played, and audio following an EDL Skip mark is skipped. When EDL playback reaches the EDL Loop_B point, playback switches to the EDL Loop_A point and continues.

There can only be one EDL A-B loop on a CF card. When a 'Loop_A' or 'Loop_B' exists on a CF card and another is created the old mark automatically changes to a 'Skip'.

Erase

When an EDL mark is erased the remaining EDL marks are automatically renumbered from 1 through the number of EDL marks on the CF card.

EDL Play

See page 37 for instructions on turning the EDL Play Menu item On or Off.

OFF: When the EDL Play is Off PMD570 playback does not respond to EDL mark instructions.

ON: When EDL Play is ON PMD570 playback follows EDL mark instructions regarding playback order, skipping sections of recording on the memory card, or repeating a section of recording on the memory card.

Note:

If the EDL Play Menu item is at On and there are no EDL marks on the CF card, playback is not available. Switch the EDL Play Menu item to Off for playback.

1. The host requests data by setting RTS to L.
2. Upon data request by CTS, the PMD570 responds by setting RTS to H if not busy.
3. The host checks if CTS is H and stats data output on TxD.
4. When data output finishes, the host sets RTS to H.
5. The PMD570 checks if CTS is H and sets RTS to L.

Received okay and error codes

OK (data receive successful) (ACK): 06h
Error (data receive error) (NACK): 15h

Normal Return Error Return OK 06h ERR 15h

Notes:

The receiving side ignores data received prior to "@". If code data is received without receiving "@", the data receive error code will be returned.

The tolerance for send/receive clock error is ± 10% . For sending a command, wait more than 20ms after reception of a response (OK, ERR or Status).

Reception of 0Dh or timeout is used to determine the end of a command. Timeout occurs 1 second after the reception of the last byte.

Hand shake flow charts for control commands

Host sends a command that causes a change in PMD570 status.

Host sends a command that causes no change in PMD570 status. For example, Host requests Play during Playback.

Status Request Commands from the host are received by the PMD570, then the status information code is transmitted to the host.

A change in the state of the PMD570 automatically transmits a status information code to the host.

Control command codes

The control command packets have a data length of 7 10 bytes. ASCII codes from 0x00 to 0x7f are used to receive serial data. At the transmission end, take steps to convert the ASCII codes into HEX data to set the data in the data packets. CR (0x0d) is added as the data packet delimiter.

Example: Control command code for number 5 (ASCII code @02305CR)

@	0	2	3	0	5	CR
0x40	0x30	0x32	0x33	0x30	0x35	0x0d

When transmitting commands consecutively, put more than 100ms blank between commands.

Status Request and Status Information codes :

The status data packets have a fixed data length of 8 bytes. ASCII codes from 0x00 to 0x7f are used to transmit serial data. For this reason, the ASCII codes are converted into HEX data before the data is set in the data packets and transmitted. CR (0x0d) is added as the data packet delimiter.

Example: Status Information code "Door open" (ASCII code @0DS01CR)

@	0	D	S	0	1	CR
0x40	0x30	0x44	0x53	0x30	0x31	0x0d

Troubleshooting

Should faults occur, it is in many cases not necessary to consult your dealer or technical service department. On the basis of the following checks, you will be able to rectify a number of conditions yourself without difficulty. If the condition cannot be remedied after the following check, please consult your dealer or contact Marantz Professional at 630 741 0330.

The PMD570 does not turn on

Check power cord and your home circuit breaker

The PMD570 seems to record but there is no sound on playback

• check input settings (For example, if Bal.In input is selected and no input is connected to the BALANCED IN jacks the PMD570 will record silence.)
• is the amp on? Check to see if the correct input has been selected.

The PMD570 will not playback

• check EDL Play Menu setting, if ON switch to OFF

No audio playback through headphones

• check HEADPHONE-LEVEL control setting
• check a different track or CF card

The PMD570 will not record

• check that the maximum of 999 tracks have not been recorded
• make sure that you have not filled up the CF card with recordings based on time
• check that the PMD570 acknowledges the CF card

Excessive noise

• check cable connections and/or replace cables
• check for proper gain levels

Playback on a PC results in poor sound

• check quality of PC sound card and program
• check frequency conversion program*
• be sure the PMD570 is set to the desired bitrate

*The PMD570 can record audio files with a sampling frequency of 48kHz . Some PC programs convert the files to 44.1kHz (using a sample rate converter). Only high quality sample rate converters should be used.

PC cannot read files

• check if the files are MP2 or MP2 with a .wav file extension Some PC's cannot interpret this combination. Try renaming the MP2 file so it has a .mpg file extension.
• check the capability of the PC program Some playback and editing programs do not support MP2/MP3 or Broadcast Wave (.bwf/.wav) formats. Consult the Marantz Professional website at www.d-mpro.com for links to programs that support MP2/MP3 and Broadcast Wave Format.

Erratic behavior

• If the PMD570 exhibits erratic behavior, the microprocessor can be reset by, powering off and disconnecting AC power.

Care and Maintenance

Clean case with a slightly moistened soft cloth.

Media cards that are heavily used should be occasionally reformatted to avoid audio problems due to fragmentation.

User Guide 1

*A CF card (Compact Flash™ memory card) or a Microdrive™ is needed for the PMD570 to work. Also used in digital cameras, removable flash memory media, widely available at consumer electronics retailers and computer resellers, come in a variety of sizes and connection configurations. The PMD570 accepts "Compact Flash" and "Microdrive" media.

The recording time depends on the size of the CF card and the recording parameters. See chart on page 51.
